I haven't yet but thinking about it...

OK so I've had a few people my boyfriend included ask me if I am doing before and after pictures or progress pictures and I always so NO and get a why not? to which I just say cause I'm not and usually every one leaves me alone then.
While I work in a restaurant for a living I do on occasion do photography on the side and it is my real passion, I even do my own self portraits to avoid having someone else take my picture, as I am very picky about them. I don't do full length pictures of myself because I honestly do not like how I look(my stomach is really my only complaint most of the time) I also do my face close ups than any other. So looking at the pictures I have my only real possible before was from May 2009 and I didn't start any of this until April 2010 after I had put on some weight during my illness. So I really don't have a before. I had not wanted to do this but as I see more and more pictures I'm thinking maybe I do. But is it to late? I've already lost 22.5 pounds.

I don't think its too late But its totally up to you whether or not you feel comfortable with a before picture. Think of it this way. You'll have something to show everyone and keep for yourself as evidence of what all of your hard work has led to!0

I get the same question but I honestly just can't stand seeing myself in the 'before' picture, even if it's needed to make the 'after' picture look that much better. I don't think it's too late to get your before picture, especially if you still think you have a lot of weight to lose. You can always get one of you thinner, but your after picture can be of you all toned up!0
